For ABC Wednesday, "I" is for Isaac's Place, a short street with 56 houses that begins at Pisgah Church Road, across from Mt. Pisgah Church. Isaac's Place parallels Battleground (near Earthfare) and ends at Martinsville Road near Rice Toyota. This hidden gem of a street is within walking distance to Country Park and the Greenway. Houses on the street range from new construction to older homes like the above home that remind us of the days when Battleground Avenue was a little more rural. This country-looking yard has mature, budding trees and yellow forsythia blooms welcoming spring. The above property even has a raised-bed garden. By late spring, it will really be hidden from the street. This home also comes with neighbors who watched with a concerned look when we were photographing. Hurray for diligent, alert neighbors! It is hard to believe that this well-maintained, rustic retreat is one just house away from Battleground Avenue.
As we considered "I" for our alphabet street series, we only had 36 streets to choose from. Other residential "I" streets include Independence Road (in Kirkwood) and Immanuel Road (near Hunter Elementary School) with 84 and 113 homes respectively.
firstly - you have forsythia blooming already!!
this looks like the kind of neighbourhood I would love to live in. the mature trees really make it idyllic.

All these many years I have lived in Greensboro and I never heard of Issac's Place. I look forward to your ABC Wednesday streets.

I like the idea of ABC Wednesday streets. Unfortunately, we are way to small to contemplate such a thing.

Thanks,
